McDonalds Playland

Today mommy worked from home, so we got to go to lunch together at McDonalds! I ordered a happy meal, but instead of getting chicken Mcnuggets like I normally do, I got a hamburger (just like mommy)! Then, after we ate we went and played on the playland! It was SO COOL! There were lots of kids playing (I was by far the youngest) and it was pretty crowded. At first I was a little timid and would run back to mom whenever too make kids came around or if I got nervous. But I soon warmed up and had so much fun!

I would go up to the kids and say "hi, my name is Kate". Some would not hear me, some would ignore me, but some would say "hi" back to me and I would get SO EXCITED! I would then run over to mom....actually hop over to her and then do my "so excited" motion and giggle like crazy, then go right back to where the action was!

There was a girl name Julie who was about 7 years old that was so nice to me. Since I was really too little for the playland (should be 3 and older), I could not climb up very high because the steps were too big. Julie took me by the hand and showed me how to do it. She even lifted me up to help me and then showed me how to get down. I was so proud of myself that I was with the big kids...I would give mom a big smile to show her how much fun I was having!

I loved it so much that I did not want to leave...Mom and I were at McDonalds for an hour and a half! I can't wait to go back to play!! Mommy said she was so proud of me and could not believe how big I am getting. I think she was going to cry with how big I am getting!
Love,
Kate

PeePee!!

"Guess what guys?" (I say that a lot!) This morning I said to mommy "I need to go potty", we went straight to my potty, took off my diaper and I sat on the big girl potty and peepee'd a whole bunch! I was so excited when we got to put in in the potty and flush it! This is my first time peeing in the potty!!! I have pooped before, but never peed!! I am so excited! We went out to Target today and get a Princess Tiana doll from "Princess and the Frog" to celebrate the BIG event! Everyone gets so excited when I tell them! I am getting so big!

Paci

So, I went to the dentist a few weeks ago and he said..."No more paci's for Kate". It was not fun to hear! Mommy then proceeded to cut the tops of all my pacis off because the doctor said I would not like them anymore after she did this and then just give up on them. Well, I am a very skilled and innovative little girl, and therefor still love my pacis! There is just a trick to getting them to work...I have to put my finger through them and then suck. See the pictures below for reference. In fact, sometimes I put multiple pacis on my fingers!!! I have to say, it makes pacis not really as fun and I have become a bigger girl and am not as interested, although sometimes I do still need a suck! I am nervous to see what mom will do next to make me STOP the pacis entirely!!

Love,

Kate

Amberlyn & Nick

Amberlyn and Nick (one of mommy's closest friends from college and her husband) came to visit a few weeks ago from Chicago! We had lots of fun! We grilled out for dinner, played at the playground, talked and played at home and then the next day went to Nama and Papa's for a BBQ! They were so much fun and I had a lot of fun playing with them! They even stayed the night and slept in the bedroom right next to mine! I can't wait to see them again!
Love,
Kate

Cousins!

I love my cousins so much! I think I already wrote all about when Tom and Meghan came into town and how we all played like crazy and had so much fun! Here are some pictures of Tom and I at Nama's house! I can't wait until they come back to visit!

Love,

Kate

Ducky!

It is so exciting! We have a duck in our front yard who has laid 12 ducky eggs! She built her nest right in our landscaping and sits on her nest every single day! Mommy and I check it at least a few times a day to make sure everything is okay. So, far no baby ducky's, although we saw a few broken shells yesterday (we hope some animal did not come and hurt them because we do not see babies yet)! We can not wait to see all the babies, but hope they do not make a home out of our yard as I do not like bird poop!
Love,
Kate
